Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the Forest and proceed northwest, then north until you reach a gate guarded by a large spider egg. Use the key to enter.
  2. 2
    Upon entering the battle arena, the Broodmother (a large spider) will attack. Smaller spiders will emerge from eggs around the arena.
  3. 3
    The Broodmother attacks like other spiders but can also spit tentacles to pull you in.
  4. 4
    Use weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun to quickly dispatch the smaller spiders.
  5. 5
    Maintain distance from the Broodmother and focus fire on it. If it pulls you in, concentrate all your attacks on the Broodmother.
  6. 6
    Avoid using throwable explosives like Molotov Cocktails or Mining Explosives as the Broodmother moves frequently. If used, ensure it stays within the explosion radius.
  7. 7
    Upon defeating the Broodmother, you will earn the 'That’s a hell of a spider' achievement.
  8. 8
    After the battle, head north of the arena to find a bunker entrance leading to a series of tunnels.
  9. 9
    Navigate the tunnels, following maps and fighting various spider enemies.
  10. 10
    You will encounter paths that split; follow them carefully, dealing with enemies like tentacle men and hazmat enemies.
  11. 11
    Use items like Molotov Cocktails or Grenades to clear obstacles blocking your path.
  12. 12
    Collect key items such as the 'Minecart Brake Lever' and 'Fuel' to progress.
  13. 13
    Utilize Workbenches and TV save points found within the tunnels for crafting and saving your progress.
  14. 14
    Eventually, you will reach the 'Druid’s Hut' above ground. Loot boxes and use the Workbench for crafting.
  15. 15
    Inside the Druid's Hut, find a TV save point and a trapdoor that cannot be accessed immediately.
Tips
  • Ensure you have Fuel x2 and an Electric Grenade x1 before proceeding to the Forest.
  • Crafting all weapons at the Workbench will unlock the 'Arsenal' achievement.
  • The spider battlefield is one of the 41 locations needed for the 'Full picture' achievement.
  • Keep your distance from the Broodmother to avoid its tentacle attacks.
  • Prioritize eliminating smaller spiders to avoid being overwhelmed.

Defeating The Sunken One grants the 'That’s a hell of a spider' achievement and contributes to the 'Full picture' achievement by mapping the spider battlefield.
